Adding smoke to epoch events

[Magz]

Hey guys, 

 

I want to add the corresponding color smoke to my Epoch Events (Military Crate, Supply Crate, Construction Crate, Treasure Crate). This way those loot boxes will become more of a PVP battle over it instead of two people searching the dot in different areas only to never come across each other..

 

What lines of code would I have to add to the four .sqf files?

Sorry almost posted really wrong stuff here, to many threads open. 

 

You cannot really just make the item spawn in already smoking. There are two ways to do this

 

1. You can make the AI throw them at enemies and have all but 1 of your AI bandits, have that 1 be a hero. The AI will throw smoke

 

2. You can make a trap kit that will set off when an AI steps on it, since they spawn there it will go off guaranteed when the mission starts

 

Ill find some code and get back to you when I test it a bit

He doesn't asks about "custom loot"? He asks for a piece of code that creates a smoke around/near the crates of the 4 side missions script. I'll see if I can code anything for you, I'm not promising anything, since I'm quite busy ^^.

Thanks Darihon, I thought this would be as simple as adding a couple lines of code directly after some other lines of code in the .sqf

 

Anyway, here is an event sqf that I run. I am pretty sure its the same as the regular ones since I havent really messed with anything other than the text and loot.

Anyone else? I'm still wondering about this...

This should be works, as it works in an other script.

I haven't try it yet, just done it after watching your post.. Tell me if it works  :P

 

i use my own military event .sqf, so some little things may change from yours

that script wouldn't work for me. When I added it, the event never came up and I had some errors in my RPT.

 

20:10:04 "RUNNING EVENT: Military on [2014,7,4,13,10]"

20:10:04 Error in expression <yz_serverObjectMonitor;

//Create Visible Marker with SMOKE

_dayTime = dayTime;
if (_dayTime > 6 && _dayTime < 18.5) then {
_smokeMarker = "SmokeShellRed" createVehicle getPosATL _loot_box;
_smokeMarker setPosATL (getPosATL _loot_box);
_smokeMarker attachTo [_loot_box,[0,0,0]];
};
if (_dayTime > 18.5 && _dayTime < 6) then {
_smokeMarker = "ARTY_Flare_Medium" createVehicle getPosATL _loot_box;
_smokeMarker setPosATL (getPosATL _loot_box);
_smokeMarker attachTo [_loot_box, [0,0,0]];
};

problem is, thats being called before the lootbox is created, that code should work

Thanks buck, I got the smoke to work, is there a way to make the smoke loop a couple of times to make it last longer?

uh! What a noobie thing ! :) 

I haven't check this ...

Anyone know how I would be able to put the smoke on a timer? Maybe have it keep repopping smoke for like 5 minutes if the crate lasts 10 mins?
